Welcome to St. Anthony of Padua parish in Effingham, Illinois. For the past 155 years, the St. Anthony family has been a center of spiritual, academic, and community growth through our many ministries.
Founded by St. Anthony’s parish and originally run by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, we are a Catholic, co-educational school that provides a learning environment steeped in tradition and committed to excellence in education.
The school offers a comprehensive curriculum where students are encouraged to discover and develop their individual talents and potential.
Today, St. Anthony is proud to support the only preschool through grade 12 Catholic school system south of Chicago.
